Most Liked Positive Review

Some great features and a few not so...

This was a repalcement for my MFC-6800. The good: the new one does auto duplexing is networkable and scans documents fo PDF. The bad: envelopes must be fed one-at-a-time so using the printer to send mailings to groups of using a database or mail list is a tedious pain. I keep the old printer set up just so I can address envelopes by the stack. The old one would no longer scan because Windows7 didn't support it but a scanner costs the same as a multifunction printer, so I bought a new Brother to replace the old. Still the most economical toner cartridges and a great price.

Most Liked Negative Review

After a week not sure it was a good buy

Paper drawer should not be enclosed but accessible / open so page by page could be inserted that way instead of the impractical (nothing to support it) slit for envelopes and single p of paper. My $40.00 Konica Minolta (32 bit) performed better but had to throw it out because of a new 64 bit i5 tower ...

  Yes, that is correct, this printer does not create PDF's. A PDF is created by a program writer such as Adobe Acrobat. You may then use the "scan to" features on this printer, which include E-mail, file, image, OCR and FTP.

Q:
What is the page/print capacity of its toner set at 5% page coverage - and is there a high capacity toner/drum? Also, can the USB cable 2.0 speed it needs be extended (joined if need be) to cover a 15' distance or more? Finally, is both a replacement drum and replacement toner cartridge needed to keep on printing after it uses up whatever print-making materials it may be shipped with - or can it continue printing with just a replacement toner cartridge?
